The six million pixel Olympus C-60ZOOM.

With its compact, metal body and classic design, the CAMEDIA C-60ZOOM has a look that is destined to turn the heads of style-conscious users. But this six million pixel powerhouse doesn’t sacrifice on versatility either. It has also been designed to satisfy the love of personal photographic expression, offering the technical refinement needed to pursue a wide variety of creative impulses. The camera integrates key innovations developed by Olympus, such as the TruePic TURBO image processor. This image-enhancing technology boosts camera speed and picture quality through better sharpness, contrast and colour. Another cutting-edge feature is the sunshine LCD, ensuring that your shots can be framed and checked on the monitor under any light conditions, including direct sun or spotlights.

Excellent image clarity is guaranteed through the winning combination of a 6 million pixel resolution and high-precision, bright (f2.8) 3x zoom lens in combination with the TruePic TURBO image processor. The results are stunning, with excellent detail sharpness. Thanks to the PictBridge standard, direct printing is possible with compatible printers, eliminating the need for a PC.

Full manual operation ensures a high degree of creative control and the flexibility to discover new areas of expression. And precision metering systems provide the accuracy necessary for trouble-free shooting. Even capturing video with sound is possible. The sequence’s duration depends on the memory card’s capacity and recording times of over an hour are possible.

The camera’s special combination of classic design and state-of-the art technology make the C-60ZOOM an unrivalled addition to any stylish lifestyle. It is planned for release in April 2004.
